We're here!!

Hello from PNG!!!   We apologize that we haven't been very good about updating the blog, but hopefully we will be able to write more since we have a steady source of wifi for few days. Thank you for all your prayers on our behalf, they are much appreciated.  There are many things I could say about our flights, but suffice it to say that we never missed a connecting flight and were conscious when we arrived in Port Moresby, where we were met after immigration by Mosley who was a tremendous help.  He lead us straight to Mapang house where we had a toasty room ready for us to spend the night.  The next day, after a quick hour long flight to Nadzab by Lae, we were met by the Vosses who were a most welcome sight.  Karissa was so excited she dropped her luggage on the spot and gave Anessa a great big hug.  The truck was having starting problems, but after a prayer for help, some locals showed up and pushed the truck while LaVeryl started it.  We didn't have any truck troubles at all on the way up to Ukarumpa!  We spent about 3 hours in the truck and were able to take in the gorgeous scenery--pictures do not do the PNG landscape justice!  If you've ever been to a Montana, it's kind of like that, but with palm trees instead of evergreens.

This morning we went to church (in English!), and it kind of reminded me of church at home.  Ukarumpa is sometimes called Little America because of all the English speakers here.  After dinner, we went to a river and skipped rocks :)

Anyways, feel free to comment, and please keep on praying for us!  Especially for the truck, it's still not working quite right.  Everything else seems to be working out great.
Karissa :)
